Arsenal have received a major boost ahead of their clash with Leicester on Sunday evening, as Dani Ceballos has returned to fitness and is available for selection.
Ceballos did not travel to Rapid Vienna for Thursday’s Europa League tie but has recovered from bruising on his left ankle.
Elsewhere, summer signing Willian is facing a late test to prove his fitness ahead of the visit of the Foxes. The Brazilian has been struggling with a right calf complaint.
Arsenal also provided an update on Rob Holding, who was due to start last weekend’s Premier League clash with Manchester City but sustained a hamstring injury in the warm-up.
The centre-back will be out for approximately three weeks, meaning he may return to action after the international break in mid-November.
Defenders Calum Chambers (knee) and Pablo Mari (ankle), and forward Gabriel Martinelli (knee) remain long-term absentees.
Arsenal and Leicester have both won three and lost two of their opening Premier League games and Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was full of praise for opposite number Brendan Rodgers.
“Well, they’re a really difficult team,” said Arteta in his pre-match press conference. “I think Brendan and his team have done a great job.
“They dramatically changed the philosophy and the way of playing, since they arrived and I think they had an incredible season last season.
Who will emerge from the Emirates with three points tomorrow: Arsenal or Leicester? Have your say here.
“This season, ups and downs, like almost every team in the Premier League and some incredible results, like when they played against Man City.
“They can adapt and play different ways and sometimes they are really dominant, sometimes they can defend with a low block but overall they’re a really, really good team.”
Arsenal and Leicester have already faced off this season, with the Gunners emerging 2-0 victors from last month’s third-round Carabao Cup tie.
